HALIFAX – A Nova Scotia man accused of fatally shooting his estranged wife in a grocery store parking lot before turning the gun on himself has been found fit to stand trial.
The Nova Scotia Review Board found Wayne Eisnor’s cognitive abilities have improved to such an extent that he could participate in a trial.
Eisnor’s case is scheduled to return to court on July 27 in provincial court in Bridgewater.
A Justice Department spokesman says a judge will decide whether he accepts the review board’s report.
Eisnor was charged with first-degree murder after Tina Mae Eisnor was shot in the head as she sat in a van in New Germany on June 30, 2010.
He was initially found unfit to stand trial last October because of mental impairment caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
